Ladakh Blue



The stunning blue sky and mountains of Ladakh.
I never tired of seeing this every day. Ladakh is a truely beautiful region of the state of Jammu & Kashmir. It really does feel like a world apart from the rest of India. The Ladakhi people look very different with more of a Tibetan influence. The natural beauty of the area is very vivid. This contrast between the blue and the tan was my favourite aspect. It acts as a beautiful backdrop to the colourful clothes and personalities of the people



At the bus station in Leh (capital of Ladakh).



Early evening view from the top of our guesthouse in Leh.



A "toilet" during the two day bus journey from Manali to Leh.

This bus journey goes over two of the highest roads in the world. The scenery on route was incrediable.
